Real estate is most people's biggest investment in their lives. Therefore, looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable partner in a real estate transaction process is paramount. A well-rounded realtor is not merely scheduling appointments to view homes or to publish your home for sale on Zillow. The industry standard has significantly raised and progressed with technology, and so are the expectations for realtors.
Having working experience in the financial service industry, I take a holistic view of your needs and wants and provide honest advice on how real estate can fit into your financial goal. Besides, I am also the quarterback, the one-stop-shop, the point of contact of the entire transaction from end to end. You are not only working with me, you are unlocking the entire network of vetted vendors - photographers, attorneys, contractors, handymen, home inspectors, mortgage brokers, homeowner insurance agents, title agents. Yes, it takes a whole village to buy/sell a home; but with someone whose goal is aligned with yours, you can offload this heavy burden to professionals.
